Egyptian president ousted; Twitter erupts

The second news of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy’s ouster from
power hit news outlets Wednesday afternoon, “Morsy” and the alternative
spelling “Morsi” hit Twitter’s trending topics. The response was an
interesting mix of pride, media criticism, political commentary, and,
of course, silliness.

Quite a few of the tweets were direct responses to the official @EgyPresidency Twitter account, which was defiant throughout the afternoon:

Pres. Morsy: Armed Forces announcement is rejected by all free men who struggled for a civil democratic Egypt.
